RAILWAY MATTERS.

New and Important Arrangements by the
Pennsylvania ID to Southern Traffic.
PHILADELPHIA, July 3o.-Frank Thompson,
an interview, yesterday, with the managers of
the i'm portant railway lines leading south from
Washington, and concluded negotiations for
of the most important railway traffic arrange
ments ever entered into by the Pennsylvania
railroad. The arrangements embrace the for
nation of three through Southern lines in
der to overcome the expense and delays by the
numerous transfers incident to the shipment of
freight from the cities and interior points in the
South, destined to points North reached by the
Pennsylvania railroad system. There were
present at the interview John Robinson. prssi
dent of the Seaooard & Roanoke railroad; II. Wal
ters, general manager of the Atlantic-co line;
E. b. Thomas. general manager of the Richmond
& Danvlle road Solomon Beas. traffic manager
of the Virginia Midland Railroad, and John S.
Wilson, general freight trafice agent, Pennsyl-
vania railroad. The three through freight lines
arranged to cover all the important Southern
territory reached by the roads out of Washing
ington, and will run follows: One line to run
via the Virginia Midland railroad and the Rich
mond & Dauville railroad: the second
to run via the Atlantic coast line and the
third via Wilmington. Norfolk Richmond and
Portsmouth. Each OF the companies interested
will furnish its quota of cars, and the lines,
established, will provide an all-rail connection
which will undoubtedly have a great influence
in promoting the business interests of the South.
Vice-president Thompson has already directed
that the to be provided by the Pennsylvania
railroad shall be promptly assigned to this serv-
ice and it is the nten ton of all parties interest
ed to proceed at once and get these through lines
in operation at the earliest date possible.

Merchants Freight Bureau, of New York. on

differences now made in classification and
freight charges between carloads and

seaboard for twenty years previous to April
1887
Complaints have also been received from
Francis FL. Leggett g. Co.. of New York city,

Christmas in the old English style. They

drunk, when orders were issued that no
more liquor should be issued to Co. G men.
7 he men OF that company had enough to

THE FUTURE OF e

The Mining and Scientific Press OF San
Francisco publishes the following which is
sufficient ~refutation of the senseless i'm.
preston the Inter Mountain is e%ndeavorine
to create concerning the future of lead:
1t is known that the French buyers have
secured all the marketable lead in Europe,
and are now turning their attention to this
country. A New York journal says: Al
though lead is produced largely in the
United States, the mines cannot meet the
demand for home consumption. Manu-
facturers Of lead pipe, sheet lead. shot and
lead paints have required so much that it
was found necessary to import the metal,
even with a 50 duty upon it. Over a
thousand tons have been bought up
and exported for the French account,
and the shortage is expected to affect the
market seriously should the foreigners con-
tinue to buy. It ia known that small lots
have been quietly bought up in England,
Spain and other European markets until
these are depleted Of every visible supply.
Brokers say it will not require an e~xtraor-
dinarily large capital to secure all the lead
in sight, and there is no knowing how far
this French syndicate may 60. It is now
suspected that copper and lead may be
wanted to prepare France for war. Should
this be the case, the demand for lead may
be even larger next year. Holders of lead
are. therefore, looking forward to extrava-
CANT prices within q short time.

General Manager and Superintendent of the
Reading road, scouting the idea of arbitra.
ton as something not to be thought OF,
Cancellation appears to be hopeless and the

temper OF the men at the cavalier
treatment their committee received from
the authorities of the road, a general tie-up

by a strike in all the Reading mines. At
this seaso OF the year such an outcome
would be most disastrous to the business

simply as a precautionary move to protect

FREAKS OF THE MAILS.

The eccentricities OF the mail service are
amusing as well as aggravating. Yesterday
morning New York papers of the 24th ar
rived here by the same mail as Omaha
papers of the 25th and the Great Falls Trib.
une of the Oath bobbed up at the same time
with the St. Paul Globe Of the oath, although
the Christmas number of the latter came to
this office on Tuesday, the 9th. And it
takes mail from here over two days to
reach Philipsburg and Granite. The run
from New York here in a little over four
days calls for unstinted praise of the mail
service in tie East, where close connections
are made and plenty OF mail clerks to
handle the enormous business of that Sec
ton. But why could we not enjoy similar
accommodation in the far West? Why
should it be necessary to omit all papers
from a town one or two days and bring
them in a bunch o N the third day? There
is no necessity for it. It is simply a lack
OF clerks to handle all the mail on the
routes-at least we will suppose that is the
trouble in preference to putting it down to
the ineficiency of the mail clerks
which we are 10th to believe. The
irregularity suffered in the Northwest
and in particular by Butte is something
that calls for the Intervention of the DOS
tai authorities, and if it can be remedied
by an increase of the force it should be
pressed upon the attention OF the depart
ment by the postal officer having general
of this section until regularity
OF service is obtained. As matters stand
present the result is very annoying, this
office being constantly in receipt of COM
plants OF delay in delivery of The MINER

ing.
